In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, opting for a subtler approach can be crucial at times, especially when you want to avoid leaving a trail of dead bodies. Here's how to effectively knock out enemies and NPCs to navigate the game's world with finesse.
Knocking Out Enemies in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Instead of resorting to lethal force, you might find it more advantageous to knock out an enemy and leave them unconscious. Here's how you can do it:
- Start by crouching using the circle button, then stealthily approach an NPC from behind. As you get close enough, a prompt to "Knock Out" will appear in the bottom right corner of your screen. Press the corresponding button to initiate the action.
- When you see a blue icon with swords on the screen, press the R2 button to successfully knock out the NPC. If Henry fails and the NPC starts to struggle, a shield icon will appear. Quickly press L2 to prevent them from escaping and complete the knockout.
- If you miss both prompts, the NPC will escape, likely leading to an open confrontation.
The success of knocking out an enemy can vary based on the NPC's strength and Henry's strength stat. To improve your chances, consider acquiring the following perks:
- Tight Grip
- Sandman
These perks will significantly increase your likelihood of knocking out an opponent, making stealth operations smoother and more reliable.
How to Stealth Kill Enemies
For those moments when a more lethal approach is necessary, stealth killing with a dagger can be your go-to strategy. Here’s how to execute it:
- Equip a dagger and sneak up on an NPC from behind. When close enough, a prompt will appear, allowing you to perform a stealth kill.
